Establishing an EBGP Peer Relationship Between ASBRs

Procedure

• Perform the following steps on each ASBR:
  1. Run system-view

     The system view is displayed.

  2. Run interface interface-type interface-number

     The view of the interface connected to the peer ASBR is displayed.

  3. Run ip address ip-address { mask | mask-length }

     The IP address is configured.

  4. Run quit

     Return to the system view.

  5. Run bgp as-number

     The BGP view is displayed.

  6. Run peer ipv4-address as-number as-number

     The remote ASBR is configured as the EBGP peer.

  7. (Optional) Run peer { ipv4-address | group-name } ebgp-max-hop [ hop-count ]

     The maximum number of hops is set for the EBGP connection. This step is mandatory if the EBGP peers are not directly connected.
